.To (zi/Z whom moy con/fern:

Be itlz at l. @rre ll. Floefnir, a. 'een oll the United States, and a resident oit Cleveland, coinity ot C. i. Y l State of Uhio. have invented certain non'Y and use'i'ul improvements in llims, ot which the 'toller/'ingr is a syrieciiication.

This invention relates to an improvement in wheels Ytor automobiles or other Wheels the type in which tl nee oit the wooden is obviated. Amincipal object oi the invention is to prmide a `wheel haviiigg a metal 'telly ot. a type which is much shalloiver and,y hence` lighter, than the` forms used hermolfore and o t simple torni, readihY manoiactnred.

irther objects oi5 the invention Vnf'ill be Laimarent in the course oi" the followingile-- ation ot' the invention, taken in connection with the aecoifnpanyinp,l drawings in which iliustration oit `the practical embodimentA ot the invention is given.

llioure 1 is a side vien' ot a wheel made :ordance Ywith my inventio'i; ig. 2 a cross-:section substantially on line QY-Q oli l, the Wedge and bolt being shown in elevation, for the salie ot clearand ll is a cross-scction, like Fig'. f2, but showing' a slightly different form or rim attached to the wheel.

eier-ring` nonv particularly to Fig. 2,

though. icept iior the 'form of We ige and rim employed, the description applies equally to 3, it will be seen that the reduced portions ot the spokes 11 or' the Wheel are inserted in the openings in the telly 152 about which the metal has been turned doivn. The 'telly 152 is rolled 'trom sheet steel and has the upstandinp; sides 13 and 1.4i termino,y a channel@ Extending; iii-om side 'liis the beveled iiann'e 15 ilormingr a seat tor one edge ol the tire rim intervals alongv the side 11I slits are cut and the metal turned over asl at 1G, AForming` openings li' for the insertion o'f a lip 13 ot the wedge 19 having` the rim seat 19". ltadially inward of and adjacent each openingrg- 1T .in the side 1+i are 'Formed openings Q0, and in side 115 and. registering` With the last-named openings are the, preferably, ectangular openings' 21. Through each pair oi registering openings passes a bolt 22 having the rectangular por` tion seated. `n the opening 21 and having head S21-il. formed at the end thO bolt adjecent part 23. Near its other end, the bolt. passes through an opening` in Wedge 19 and;` :is threaded iior the reception ot nut 25, in` the usual manner. The turned over portion 1G of the side 'furnishes a support for the lip 18 of the Wedge which supports, on its upper' side, b v means of the rim seat 19 mentioned, the rim R. Radially inivard o1 each opening 2O is a stamped-up projection 26, forming a rest for the lovver extension or heel 27 of theyvedge 19. lt will tliusbe seen that the channel oit the 'telly 12 maybe made very shallow and, yet, at the same time, through the iformation of the projec-` tionsy 26, form a supportingand steadying means for Wedge 19.

The showing` of .Fig is the same as that 2, except that the rim R is shoyvn as 'formed with 'the stamped-up lug or depres-l sion 28 Which cooperates with the lip 29 lof wedge 30. rlhe Wedge differs trom that shown in Fig. 2 only by the omission ot seat 19, since in this torni the rim is seated With. its lng)- or stampednp depression Qagainst the lip 29 ot the Wedge. All other parts are the same as in Fig. 2.

lt is, or course, to be understood that the particular embodiments of the invention illustrated and described are merely typical embodiments of the invention and that the specific constructions are given merely by way et illustration and are not intended to limit the invention to such forms, as, obviously, many changes in construction and design may bemade Without departing from the spirit and scope oi my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what claim is:

1. ln a device ot the class described, the combination 'of a telly having; a middle portion and side portions forming a channel. a stamped-up projection at one of said sides extending radially inward ol said channel, a tire rim on said telly, and means, including a member contacting With said. rim and projection, ttor clamping said rim on the lelly.

2. ln a device ot the class described, the combination oi? a metal telly having a channel, a stamped-up projection at one side of said channel and extending radially inward thereof, a slot adjacent said projection, a demonntable tire rim on said telly, and means, including` a member bearingpn the projection and having a lip peSSlllg through said slot and bearing on said rim, tor clamping said rim on said telly.

3. In a device ot the described,the combination ot ay metal telly haringa channel, a stamped-up projection at one side ot said channel and extending` radially inward thereot, said side havinga portion radially outward ot said projection turned down to extend axially ot said Wheel, a tire rim on said telly, and means, includingA a member bearingv on said projection and rim, and having a lip resting on said axially eX- tending portion, tor clamping' said rim on the telly. l i

4t.. ln a device ot the class described, the

1 i combination ot a. metal telly ha fing` channel, ak flange at one side ot said channel termine' aV rim seat, stamped-np projections on said telly extending' radially inward thereot, a tire rim on said telly, and means, including members bearing on said projections, tor clamping said rim on said telly.

5. In a device ot the class described, the combination ot a metal telly having a middle portion and side portions torming a channel, a stamped-up projection at the juncture ot one ot said side portions with said middle portion and extending radially inward thereot, a tire rim on said telly and having a stamped-up depression therein, and means, including a member bearing on said projection and depression, tor clamp ing said rim on the telly.

6. In a device ot the class desc-ribed, the combination ot a metal telly having a middle portion and side portions torming a channel, a stampedaip projection termed at the side ot said channel and extending radially inward thereot, a tire rim on said telly, a member bearingv on said projection and rim, one ot said side portions and the last-named member having registering openings, and means, including` a bolt passing through said registering' openings, tor clamping said parts together.

ln ay device ot the class described, the combination. ot an integral metal telly, having` a spole-rc-zceiyingv member, a portion bearing a rim seat extending trom said spoke-receiving member, a stamped-up projection adjacent said member and extending radially inward thereot, a tire rim bearing on said seat, and means, including parte cooperating with said projection and rim, tor clamping said rim on said telly.

8. in a device ot the class des ,iibed, the combination ot a metal telly havingr a. middle portion and side portions forming a shallow channel, a stamped-up projection at the juncture et said miedle portion and one ot said side portions and extending` radially inward thereot, a turned down axially extending portion on said side adjacent said projection, and means, including a member bearing' on said projection and rim and having' a lip resting on said axially eX- tending;` portion, tor clamping said rim on said telly.
